Jenny Martin has come to Kahlerville on a mission to find her
two-year old niece. She already knew of her sister Jessica’s
unsavory lifestyle who ran away from home and became a
prostitute and unwed mother. Jenny hopes by finding Jessica’s
daughter and bringing the girl home, Jenny herself would find
favor with her austere parents.
A single man, Dr. Grant Andrews honored the wish of a dying
prostitute, his patient, and adopted her newborn child, raising
the girl as his own in spite of the gossip that ensued. Now two
years later, Jessica’s sister has come to town and threatens to
uproot his adopted daughter from the only home she has ever
known.
As tension increases, love sparks. Jenny is introduced to a
frontier family who exhibits a faith unknown and inexplicable.
She herself had been raised to believe in evolution, the
innovative theories of Charles Darwin, a scientist long admired
by her father.
Jenny finds herself not only in conflict with her atheistic beliefs
and the local physician, but also with a mysterious man, a
gambler, who has followed her to Kahlerville.
A page turner, Diann Mills had penned yet again another
fascinating read.
